Find the measure of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago

<h3>Answer:  B.  x = 6</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Since the vertical lines are parallel, this means the alternate exterior angles shown are congruent.

Set them equal to each other and solve for x.

15(x+2) = 120

15x+30 = 120

15x = 120-30

15x = 90

x = 90/15

x = 6

Or we could have the steps like this

15(x+2) = 120

x+2 = 120/15

x+2 = 8

x = 8-2

x = 6

For which value(s) of the constant k is the circle x² + (y − k)² = 16 tangent to the line y = 3?

<em>Answer:</em>

<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation:Let us find points of intersection of line  </em>

<em>3 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>4 </em>

<em>y </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>0 </em>

<em> and circle  </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>y </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>16 </em>

<em>. We can do this by putting value of  </em>

<em>y </em>

<em> from first equation i.e.  </em>

<em>y </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>3 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>4 </em>

<em> and we get </em>

<em> </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>( </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>3 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>) </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>16 </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>16 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>or  </em>

<em>16 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>9 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>6 </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>256 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>i.e.  </em>

<em>25 </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>6 </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>x </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>256 </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>0 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This would give two values of  </em>

<em>x </em>

<em> and corresponding two values of  </em>

<em>y </em>

<em> i.e. two points. But tangent cuts the circle in only at one point. This will be so when discriminant is zero i.e. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>( </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>6 </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>) </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>4 </em>

<em>⋅ </em>

<em>25 </em>

<em>⋅ </em>

<em>( </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>256 </em>

<em>) </em>

<em>= </em>

<em>0 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>or  </em>

<em>− </em>

<em>64 </em>

<em>k </em>

<em>2 </em>

<em>+ </em>

<em>25600 </em>

<em>0 </em>

<em> or  </em>

Which ratio would help find the distance the person is from the flag pole ¨X¨ if the angle is elevation of 30 degrees.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

There are three major trignometric ratios in mathematics and they are:

sine(sin), cosine(cos) and tangent(tan). A popular acronym is used in recalling the formula for each ratio and it is: SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine(x) = Opp/Hyp

Cosine(x) = Adj/Hyp

Tangent(x) = Opp/Adj

Now, the Hyp is the hypothenus of the triangle and it is the side opposite to angle 90. The opposite and adjacent is kind of relative depending on the angle been considered. For this case, we are considering angle 30 which the opposite side is 60 and the remaining side becomes the adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 30 = 60/x
